2.5 Conformity
The device complies with the legal requirements of the applicable
country-specific directives or technical regulations. We confirm con-
formity with the corresponding labelling.
The corresponding conformity declarations can be found on our
homepage.
Authentication
When starting Bluetooth communication, an authentication is carried
out between sensor and adjustment device by means of the sensor
PIN. The sensor PIN is part of the respective sensor and must be
entered in the adjustment device (smartphone/tablet). To increase
adjustment convenience, this PIN is stored in the adjustment device.
This process is secured via an algorithm acc. to standard SHA 256.
The radio module used in the instrument for wireless Bluetooth com-
munication is approved for use in countries of the EU and EFTA. It
was tested by the manufacturer according to the latest edition of the
following standard:

4.1 Insert display and adjustment module
The display and adjustment module can be inserted into the sensor
and removed again at any time. You can choose any one of four differ-
ent positions - each displaced by 90°. It is not necessary to interrupt
the power supply.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing lid
2. Place the display and adjustment module on the electronics in the
desired position and turn it to the right until it snaps in.
3. Screw housing lid with inspection window tightly back on
Disassembly is carried out in reverse order.
The display and adjustment module is powered by the sensor, an ad-
ditional connection is not necessary.

Adjustment system The instrument is operated via the four keys of the display and
adjustment module. The individual menu items are shown on the LC
display. You can find the function of the individual keys in the previous
illustration.
Time functions When the [+] and [->] keys are pressed quickly, the edited value,
or the cursor, changes one value or position at a time. If the key is
pressed longer than 1 s, the value or position changes continuously.
When the [OK] and [ESC] keys are pressed simultaneously for more
than 5 s, the display returns to the main menu. The menu language is
then switched over to " English".
Approx. 60 minutes after the last pressing of a key, an automatic reset
to measured value indication is triggered. Any values not confirmed
with [OK] will not be saved.

If the sensor is operated via the one display and adjustment module,
the message " Adjustment blocked" appears on the other one. Simul-
taneous adjustment is thus impossible.
Connection of more than one display and adjustment module on one
interface, or a total of more than two display and adjustment modules,
however, is not supported.

6 Set up Bluetooth connection with smartphone/tablet
Activate Bluetooth Make sure that the Bluetooth function of the display and adjustment
module is activated. For this, the switch on the bottom side must be
set to " On".
Factory setting is " On".
On
Off
Change sensor PIN The security concept of Bluetooth operation absolutely requires that
the default setting of the sensor PIN be changed. This prevents unau-
thorized access to the sensor.
The default setting of the sensor PIN is " 0000". First of all you have
to change the sensor PIN in the adjustment menu of the respective
sensor, e.g. to " 1111".
After the sensor PIN has been changed, sensor adjustment can be
enabled again. For access (authentication) with Bluetooth, the PIN is
still effective.

6 Set up Bluetooth connection with smartphone/tablet
Information:
Bluetooth communication functions only if the actual sensor PIN dif-
fers from the default setting " 0000".
6.2 Connecting
Connecting Start the adjustment app and select the function "Setup". The smart-
phone/tablet searches automatically for Bluetooth-capable instru-
ments in the area.
The message " Searching …" is displayed.
All found instruments will be listed in the adjustment window. The
search is continued automatically.
Select the requested instrument in the device list.
The message " Connecting …" is displayed.
Authenticate For the first connection, the operating device and the sensor must
authenticate each other. After successful authentication, the next con-
nection functions without authentication.
For authentication, enter in the next menu window the 4-digit PIN
which is used to Lock/Unlock the sensor (sensor PIN).
Note:
If an incorrect sensor PIN is entered, the PIN can only be entered
again after a delay time. This time gets longer after each incorrect
entry.

7.2 Connecting
Connecting Select the requested device for the online parameter adjustment in
the project tree.
Authenticate The window " Authentication" is displayed. For the first connection,
the operating device and the device must authenticate each other.
After successful authentication, the next connection functions without
authentication.
For authentication, enter the 4-digit PIN used to lock/unlock the
device (sensor PIN).
Note:
If an incorrect sensor PIN is entered, the PIN can only be entered
again after a delay time. This time gets longer after each incorrect
entry.
Connected After connection, the sensor DTM appears. With devices of the newer
generation, the display of the display and adjustment module shows
the Bluetooth symbol and " connected". Sensor adjustment via the
keys of the display and adjustment module itself is not possible in this
mode.
Note:
With devices of the older generation, the display remains unchanged,
sensor adjustment via the keys of the display and adjustment module
is possible.
If the connection is interrupted, e.g. due to a too large distance
between device and PC/notebook, the message " Communication
failure" is displayed. The message disappears when the connection
is restored.
Prerequisites For parameter adjustment of the sensor via a Windows PC, the con-
figuration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver (DTM)
according to FDT standard are required. The up-to-date PACTware
version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a DTM Collec-

9.1 Dismounting steps
To remove the device, carry out the steps in chapters " Mounting" and
" Connecting to power suplly" in reverse.
Warning:
When dismounting, pay attention to the process conditions in vessels
or pipelines. There is a risk of injury, e.g. due to high pressures or tem-
peratures as well as aggressive or toxic media. Avoid this by taking
appropriate protective measures.
9.2 Disposal
Pass the instrument on to a specialised recycling company and do not
use the municipal collecting points.
Remove any batteries in advance, if they can be removed from the
device, and dispose of them separately.
If personal data is stored on the old device to be disposed of, delete it
before disposal.
If you have no way to dispose of the old instrument properly, please
contact us concerning return and disposal.
